I went to startup my girl's Camaro tonight after she had had a bitch of a time coming up the driveway, ya I know shouldn't be driving the SS in the snow, but she has no other car, but anwyays.

When I started it, it was running like crap and I noticed she ran it down to almost empty and it was running rough and sputtering. The SES was on and as i started driving it began to flash on and off, so I got it to the gas station up the street, filled it up, and the SES still was flashing, I immediately drove it into the garage and it was still running like crap, sputtering ticking pinging. Upon examination I noticed the coil packs were arcing!

Has anyone run into this problem before??? Any help would be much appreciated! Thanks in advance!

I had a similar problem some time ago. It turned out to be a spark plug wire had become loose from the coil pack. Plugged it in and problem solved.

Check to see if the wires are all the way on. If the are, the they need to be replaced.

I had the same problem with my ole' s-10 blazer.

Most autoparts stores sell some stuff called "liquid electrical tape". Its in a tin can with a little paint brush. You brush it on, and let it set up. Do a few coats if needed.

How many of the coil packs are arcing out? It's odd that its more than one. Check the plug wires first, thats the easiest part.
